Compania de Navigacion por Vapor en el Rio Magdalena, Baranquilla, December 14, 1865.
Sir: I have to inform you that the steamer, Antioquia, under the American flag, was seized by Mr. Manuel Vengoechea in the name of the State of Magdalena, on the 11th instant, when on her downward voyage from Nare, and brought to Calamar by armed force. Her cargo, mails, and passengers were landed there, and the steamer carried off by him. At the earliest opportunity, I intend to bring the affair before the notice of the United States minister at Bogota.
I inform you of the same for your government, and remain your obedient servant,
R. A. JOY.
